How to Prepare

Prior the initial office visit, you will be sent several forms to complete. Please read them over in detail as some may take time to prepare.

Patient Questionnaire & Diet Diary

During the days before the initial visit, please pay attention to your child’s diet and keep a 3-day diet diary. Be sure to thoroughly complete the  patient questionnaire and bring it to the first visit. This will provide Dr. Erlich a tremendous amount of information and save valuable time during the visit so you can have a more complete discussion and education.

Medical Records

If your child has a complicated medical history that cannot be adequately conveyed on the questionnaire, please provide medical records to help clarify this information. You can request your medical records directly from your pediatrician and bring them to your initial visit. This will ensure that we have your records at the time of the visit. Please understand that your pediatrician’s office is busy and may need adequate notice before providing you with the records. For this reason, request these records at least 2 weeks prior to your initial visit to Healing the Whole Child.
